Tahmoh will be at San Diego Comic Con for Trick 'r Treat on July 23rd.

9:30-12:00 Halloween Comes Early: Trick 'r Treat Screening— Be among the first to see writer/director Michael Dougherty's (Superman Returns, X2) creepy, darkly comic celebration of the scariest night of the year. Trick 'r Treat takes the Creepshow/Tales from the Crypt approach to nefarious new depths with four interwoven tales set on Halloween night: a high school principal who moonlights as a vicious serial killer; a young virgin whose quest for that special someone takes a gruesome turn; a group of teens who carry out a cruel prank with disastrous consequences; and a cantankerous old man who battles a mischievous trick-or-treating demon.

Prior to the screening, Ain't It Cool News mogul Harry Knowles will moderate a panel featuring Michael Dougherty and members of the cast, including Anna Paquin (True Blood, X-Men), Tahmoh Penikett (Battlestar Galactica, Dollhouse), and Brian Cox (The Bourne Identity, X2). A collection of creepy stories that mixes fun with fear, candy with poison, and laughter with screams, the critically acclaimed Trick 'r Treat will be released on Blu-ray Hi-Def and DVD and On Demand by Warner Home Video in October.

He's been named one of Entertainment Weekly's Sci-fi Hotties of '09.

Smarts are sexy, and the Battlestar Galactica alum forever securing the devotion of Joss Whedon's fanbase by starring on Fox's Dollhouse is not dumb. Also sexy: his shirtless chest. We've been known to fast-forward through an episode to see if it makes an appearance.

Vote for Tahmoh here.

EW also has a brief chat with Joss Whedon and photos from Dollhouse's unaired thirteenth episode, "Epitaph One," which will be on the Dollhouse S1 DVD sets (available July 28th).

Dollhouse Season 2 will return on FOX on September 25th. The premiere, "Vows" will be written and directed by Whedon.

Fox's Season 2 description of Paul in Dollhouse:

Former FBI Agent PAUL BALLARD (Tahmoh Penikett) determined to solve the mystery of the DOLLHOUSE and find the missing Caroline, accomplished his goal in the first season finale and was convinced (or was it coerced?) to become Echo’s new handler. DOLLHOUSE revolves around Echo’s blossoming self-awareness and her desire to discover her true identity. But with each new engagement, comes a new memory and increased danger inside and outside the Dollhouse.
